"Insult To Democracy": Piyush Goyal Slams Opposition For Parliament Uproar

Rajya Sabha was adjourned three times while the Lok Sabha adjourned two times since Monday morning due to Opposition uproar over various issues including price hike and inflation.

Slamming the Opposition after the ruckus in the Parliament, Leader of House in the Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal on Monday said the uproar is an insult to the democracy and people of India. Briefing mediapersons, Piyush Goyal said, "They could not see that such a large number of people from the backward community of the society have been inducted into the cabinet by the Prime Minister. For the first time, we saw such a large number of women, tribals, people from the northeast becoming a part of the union cabinet." "It is unfortunate that introduction of OBCs, Dalits, SCs-STs, representatives of northeastern states, women as Ministers was interrupted. A democratic process was halted by Opposition MPs. It is an insult to the democracy and people of India. We condemn this," Mr Goyal added. The Union minister condemned the Opposition for the ruckus created in Rajya Sabha.
